Not wanting others to see her vulnerable side, Olivia Jenkins adjusted her mood, removed her makeup, washed her face clean, and even cleaned the porridge out of her hair.
Now with her makeup on, her beautiful face radiated confidence and pride like nothing had happened, and she stepped out of the restroom.
In the hallway, Leaf Fiona saw her lady and bent slightly in greeting, âMaâam, I have something to report to you. Mrs. Jenkins has been sleeping poorly lately, possibly due to a footache. These past few days, she hasnât left her bedroom and has practically been lying in bed. I called for a doctor, but she wouldnât let him see her.â
Olivia frowned, âWhy didnât you tell me earlier?â
âI saw you were busy and had to deal with a lot of stressful matters, so I called the doctor first. But no matter how we coax her, Mrs. Jenkins still refuses to let the doctor examine her.â
âI see; Iâll go check on her.â
Olivia, with a medical kit in hand, returned to her grandmotherâs bedroom.
Mrs. Jenkins had originally been trying to struggle off the bed to use the restroom. When she saw Olivia come in, she sat back down on the bed, pretending to sleep and ignoring Olivia.
Olivia didnât utter a sound, pulled back the covers, and even rolled up her grandmotherâs pants to check her legs.
âWhat are you trying to do? You wicked woman, donât touch me!â Mrs. Jenkins grimaced, trying to shake Olivia off but unable to do so. With her effort, the pain in her leg forced a frown onto her face.
âYou wicked woman, you want to take my life, right! It hurts, so much ⦠oh oh
Anger bubbling up inside her, Olivia fixed a piercing and fierce gaze on her grandmother, âLook at your swollen feet, so severe and you still refuse to let the doctor see you. You havenât taken the medicine that the doctor prescribed for you, have you?
You donât need me to take your life. If you donât eat your medicine, donât see the doctor, and donât eat your meals, youâll soon die. I wonât dirty my hands and you wonât cause me any troubles.â
âYou⦠you⦠you wicked girl, youâre intentionally trying to infuriate me!â
âGrandmother, youâre mistaken. I will not leave a bad reputation for myself. If you choose to die in this manner, I canât do anything about it.â
Oliva covered her grandmother with the blanket, sat beside her, and opened the medical kit to take a look.
In a hurry to use the restroom and unable to hold it in anymore, Mrs. Jenkins slowly began to move off the bed.
Suddenly standing up, her foot pain plus her dizzy head caused her to lose balance and she began to fall toward the ground.
In a split second, Olivia supported her grandmother, with a look of helplessness in her eyes, âDo you enjoy tormenting yourself this much? Why do you have to make things difficult for yourself? Let me tell you, I donât care. The pain is not on me; itâs on you. And I wonât pity you.â
âI⦠I just want to use the restroom, I canât hold it in anymore.â
Seriously suppressing her anger, Olivia escorted her grandmother to the restroom.
After using the restroom, Mrs. Jenkins lay back down on her bed and started to act restless again.
âYou wicked girl, I wonât die. As long as Iâm alive, I will torment you; I wonât make it easy for you.â
Without a trace of courtesy, Olivia shot back at her, âThen you must first make sure you donât die. Otherwise, whatever you say will be pointless.â
âI canât win an argument with you, so Iâll stop talking.â
No longer speaking, Olivia started to apply needle-electrotherapy treatment on her grandmotherâs legs.
Although it was a bit painful, Mrs. Jenkins could bear it and even felt a bit of relief.
After the electrotherapy treatment, Olivia massaged her grandmotherâs waist and legs.
Although her condition felt much better and the pain had somewhat eased, Mrs. Jenkins remained stubborn, her harsh words filled with bitterness, âNo matter how flattering you are, Olivia, I will never like you or forgive you. I will never acknowledge you as part of the Jenkins family.â
Olivia shot back confidently, âRest assured, I donât like you either. I am just fulfilling my filial duties for my father..â
